I think one of the biggest jobs of being a director is getting the casting right.
Duncan Jones -
I was angry and frustrated when I was younger and didn't know my place in the world.

I love my work, but I don't like being in the spotlight. I was never going to be an actor, that's for sure.
Duncan Jones -
My parents did call me Zowie now and then, but then, realising that it drew too much attention, they called me 'Joe'. Then, later, I sort-of co-opted my own name back.
Duncan Jones -
I'd love to do a Western.
Duncan Jones -
'Warcraft' by its very nature is epic in scale.
Duncan Jones -
I'm a bit of a geek, actually. So I always wanted my first film to be science fiction.
Duncan Jones -
I love incredibly imaginative, speculative sci-fi.
Duncan Jones
-
I was a big fan of Luc Besson and obviously Ridley Scott.
Duncan Jones -
Be it a video game, comic book, or cheque book, the question always is, 'What story do you have to tell?'
Duncan Jones -
My priority is having the ability to be creative and to come up with the right decisions and not be fettered. If there are a lot of people involved in decision making, it can become frustrating.
Duncan Jones -
I think if you're young and you're being compared with a successful family member, it's really hard to maintain any sense of self-worth and credibility.
Duncan Jones -
Terry Gilliam, he's a really interesting and amazing film maker, and when he gets it right, it's really powerful stuff.
Duncan Jones -
'Warcraft' is going to be a period of my life I treasure and loathe at the same time.
Duncan Jones
-
I'm kind of transatlantic Eurotrash.
Duncan Jones -
My stepmom's from Somalia, my baby sister is African American, my dad was always English, I'm a white man... You may have noticed.
Duncan Jones -
I view myself still as a director. That's what I do.
Duncan Jones -
Girls seem to get me in trouble a lot of times.
Duncan Jones -
I guess sci-fi was like my candy growing up. My dad always thought it was important for me to read an hour or two every night. And if I got stuck or didn't want to read, sci-fi was sort of the thing you'd give me to spur me on to read that evening.
Duncan Jones -
It felt very fresh to me, and it feels very contemporary - this idea that conflict's not being about good and evil and not necessarily being black and white. If you dig deep enough, you'll often find that people do things because they feel that they have to as opposed to because they are evil.

-
I took an incredibly roundabout route getting into feature films.
Duncan Jones -
One of the things I think is unique and signature about Blizzard is that whenever they do their games, and with 'Warcraft' in particular, they take the things they love and put a twist on it. They showed that heroes can come from the most unexpected places, and as a player, you can play as a hero, on all sides.
Duncan Jones -
I was the only kids to have Sony Umatic tapes of the old 'Star Wars.' It was such an old technology; you needed two or three tapes to show one movie, so the kids used to come over to my house, and we would watch 'Star Wars.'
Duncan Jones -
My dad and I used to shoot little one-stop animations on an old 8mm film camera when I was no more than 7 or 8, and when he was away at work, I would keep shooting nonsensical, short animated films using 'Star Wars' figures or Smurfs - depended what the narrative was.
